Going Green

As a college student, it’s easy to come up with probably a hundred things that I could do with $422, were it readily available to me. Like everyone else, I’ve got rent, a car payment, insurance payments, utilities, and cell phones bills. I’ve even got this great thing called a student loan, which on its own would consume more than half of the aforementioned amount.

However, I’m certain that lately my mind wanders past the ordinary financial obligations that I have, and I’m pressed to be concerned about things like just how much paper I use, or how much water I waste. While I could not end global warming or force everyone in my complex to recycle with just $422, I am confident that I could purchase biodegradable cleaning items and products, and even employ the use of pre-bottled water rather than using tap. In addition, I would utilize what was left to provide my neighborhood church with recycled bathroom tissue and environmentally friendly kitchen utensils and cleaning supplies as well.

These things may seem simple, but they are functional for my generation and socioeconomic status. While I may not alter the ozone, I can surely try my darndest!
